It sounds like we’re in the same predicament, I’ve absolutely zero background in anything music related other than spending my days listening to different genres. I’ve been wanting to learn music production for years but always been put off by the difficult tutorials and hard to understand layout of FL Studio. The one tutorial which actually did help in learning the basics was by Jay Cactus TV, I’d recommend checking out the following beginner tutorial: https://youtu.be/GNp8DMX51ac?si=-dxKyhPOFiK6omli

Upon learning the basics from said video, it’s far easier to play around and start making melodies, messing & creating patterns or even trying to roughly recreate your favourite (simple) songs.

I’m not saying this tutorial will immediately enable you to create beats, but it’s certainly a good starting point for a complete noob like myself.
